Bowler	O	M	R	W
Islam	1.0	0	10	0

[Rifat]

opener Birch in good form, just blasted 76 yesterday, hopefully he departs soon today

[Rabz]

Derby off to a flyer,
16/0 just after 2 overs.

Settle the nerves boys.

[MohammedC]

Much better 2nd over by Sajid 2 run from it

[Rabz]

Good comeback by Sajid. Only 2 runs in his second over.
17/0 after 3

[Rabz]

Both Dhiman and Mushy in the team, it would be nice battle of the keepers.
Mushy as a batsman though.

Lets see who comes on top.

[Rabz]

29/0 after 7, Derby.
Bowlers slowly curbing back on the runs after the 10-run first over.

Sajid conceds only 8 in his next 3.Good effort.

[MohammedC]

First maiden over by Rubel

29/0 after 8

[Rabz]

Rubel bowls the first maiden over of the day.
Keep up the good stuff boy.

4-1-10-0.

[MohammedC]

One good thing about this 100 over (maximum) batting team will start looking for runs which will bring spin in to play later if our bowler does not start giving away unnecessary run.

Like this over just gone.

[MohammedC]

Sajid bowls another 10 run over.

[Rabz]

The runs are coming at a good comfortable pace.
We need a wicket now.
C'mon boys.

[MohammedC]

We have so far bowled 5 NB an 5W (it was 1 went for boundary) still 6 extra ball

[Rabz]

Derby 43/0 after the first 10.
Time for a bowling change.

[MohammedC]

$$$$$ replaces Sajid

people, the purpose of these first class matches is to get much exposure and experience as possible, so the tougher it gets,the happier i am. our concern for success should only be in international matches. right now, players should only focus on playing correctly and finding the right rhythm which they shall follow consistently...

Tougher

D Birch has only played 11 FC match Avg 34
PM Borrington played 9 FC Avg 41.10

I would not call it tough. Sorry Rifat nothing against you, but this is not tough.

Now if Chris Rogers was batting and you said that I would agree with you

[bujhee kom]

both rubels got a scalp each!
two down!
derbie - 92/2 after 26 overs!
go bd-a!

[MohammedC]

120/3 now

well done mosharraf. Keep it going

[MohammedC]

Six and four by Sadler. Trying to up the tempo. One more wicket is cruicial.

144/3 after 41

RR not to bad. It was worse before lunch, touching 4.5/over one stage

[BanCricFan]

Need a wkt right now and we would have a competitive post lunch session. Mosharraf prolly should get 1 more over and Sajid should be bowling at his end. Perhaps, he will do better against the left handers and would do better than his first spell.

[MohammedC]

Both Saqib and Mosharraf Rubel has brought RR down below 3.5. But it looks like Rogers and Saddler are going to go after them from now on.
